Aloha Hawaii 2016 part 7

Yup, vacation is now in full swing. We are in paradise for sure!!  Launching Pele rock seems to have improved our luck for a good time.  Bye bye Pele ...

Our last day on the big island was nothing short of a ton of fun.  Began the day at the ungodly early hour of 9:30... (Late in comparison to our previous adventures) treated ourselves to the breakfast brunch. Yum! The fresh fruit is amazingly good.  Then off to the sister property to the hapuna beach Prince resort, Manna Kea, right next door. BJ and I tried hiking to it earlier. In true Hawaii terrain, not really good idea. One thing to scale the hills and lava rock to get there, but a return trip was required. 

:D. 

The snorkeling was very fun. Due to high serf and rip tides, not really able to get out as far as we wanted. Better safe then sorry. A heathy fear of the ocean is a good thing. Amongst the marine life we experienced was an octopus, swam with a sea turtle and tons of colorful fish large and small. 

Back to hapuna, and into the pool for the remainder of the afternoon. So relaxing! The hanai are vacationing now. ( remember the definition of hanai?) ( that's us!). Enjoyed another breathtaking sunset while poolside having our dinner meal. 

Transition time - said goodbye to hapuna, an amazingly beautiful resort, to set out for our 3rd and final island, Kauai. A brand new experience for the hanai, renting a VRBO ( vacation rental by owner) Jackie did a absolutely fabulous job picking this home. It is really really cool!!  One much welcomed change, we cooked our dinner meal, devouring every morsel with a smile on our faces. After doing the math, it was $5.53 per person -- what's not to like! 

Tomorrow, snorkeling and dinner cruising. Stay tuned!
